Patrick Nehring of the DNR spoke on the lake's invasive species and water quality. Silver Lake has zebra
mussels which not much can be done about them. The virus VHS is present in the Pine River. Cleaning of
boats when taking out of the lake is needed. Anyone interested in this can attend a workshop (approx 3
hours). Contact Steve Koivula. Information is available on Pearl Lake link, land and conservation.

Fish report: Shelly Tobiasz reported in the May 15th fish survey. Vern Bertzyk stated the fish committee
was not notified of the date the survey would be done. The blue gill population is down somewhat from
the 2004 survey but not enough to warrant stocking at this time. The bass population is abundant but
are small size.

The lake is in need of habitat improvement. There is a program called Tree Drop which will be discussed
at the June 30th meeting. Chuck Johannes is taking the Secci disk readings and recording in place of Glen
Anderson. The overall lake quality is good.

Obtrusive lights around the lake were discussed. More on this at the July (June 30) meeting.

Loud boat noise can be reported to the DNR tip line.
